Unit 3 Spent Fuel Pool; Debris Removal Preparation Begins
Kyodo News announced yesterday that preparations are underway to remove the debris from the unit 3 spent fuel pool at Fukushima Daiichi. The debris in unit 3′s spent fuel pool is much more excessive and complicated than unit 4. In unit 3′s pool is a tangle of rebar and concrete along with the refueling crane. The refueling crane apparently fell in the pool during the explosion. One end landed on the fuel racks. Along with the … Read entire article »

Debris Removal At 1st Floor Unit 3 Fukushima Underway
TEPCO mentions that debris removal work on the 1st floor of unit 3 is underway. The work had been on various planning documents but is now confirmed to be ongoing. The work is being done by way of robotic equipment. The confirmation came as the SoRa robot developed an oil leak. This debris removal will help both robots and workers gain entry to more of the building. SoRa was built by Hitachi-GE. TEPCO does not state … Read entire article »

Unit 3 Leaking Alpha Radiation
TEPCO put out a report on alpha emitters found in the gas removal systems for units 1-3. This appears to be the first reporting of this. Units 1 and 2 were tested and said to be below detection. Unit 3 is leaking a certain amount of alpha emitters out the gas removal system and is likely leaking the same out the damaged reactor well on the top. Some of the isotopes listed are expected. What appears unusual is that only unit 3 is cited as detecting them. Since unit 3 was running a partial load of MOX plutonium fuel is this a roundabout admission by TEPCO that 3 is leaking detectable amounts of plutonium due to the fuel mix? Since TEPCO plays coy, or possibly lazy and only lists “all alpha” radiation … Read entire article »

TEPCO Admits Containment Failure At Unit 3
Most in the know have strongly suspected this since 2011 but TEPCO finally admitted this today. Unit 3′s containment structure is failed via the reactor well. This came about as the press questioned TEPCO about the ongoing steam leak source at unit 3. TEPCO had been declaring it to be rain leaking onto a warm structure up until now. Ex-SKF translates this from the TEPCO PR representative at today’s press conference: “it was around this area where the steam was coming from inside the reactor’s Containment Vessel right after the accident [explosion of Reactor 3 on March 14, 2011"] LaPrimavera at Ex-SKF found this perplexing as he didn’t remember TEPCO admitting this in 2011 while they today act like everyone knew. He is right, TEPCO never admitted this and the one statement about … Read entire article »

UPDATE: New Radiation Readings At Unit 3 Reactor Well
TEPCO released some additional radiation readings for the reactor well of unit 3 today. They can be seen below on an overlay of the heat image released previously. These readings show that the high readings released yesterday are not isolated and that the entire reactor well area is quite high in radiation. There does appear to be some focal effect coming off of the source of the hot spot (temperature) area.

TEPCO Releases Unit 3 Radiation Levels, Shows New Problem
TEPCO published this new document today that includes more radiation readings for the reactor well of unit 3. These new readings done as an overlay on the recent heat image really shows the problem. The highest readings are focused on the heat readings. The area near the spent fuel pool gate are higher and the location where the steam is leaking is elevated compared to the adjacent readings. This still requires more analysis to determine what may be going on beneath the thick concrete reactor well cover. The readings are all considerably high with many higher than what was found at unit 2. Unit 2 has been sealed off after TEPCO discovered extremely high levels of radiation were leaking out the blow out panel of the refueling floor at that unit. Unit … Read entire article »

TEPCO Hides Unit 3 Data, Who Watches TEPCO?
After months of data about water and little else, TEPCO remains mum on unit 3. Considerable progress has been made in removing the debris on the refueling floor. This reveals what could be considerable information and evidence related to the meltdown and massive blast at unit 3. The last report on unit 3 was in late May when they installed a cover over the spent fuel pool. Since then the webcam at the plant shows the back wall and most of the tangle of debris has been removed. This process will reveal the state of the damaged side of the refueling deck and the condition of the reactor well components. What could be determined in 2011 was that the south side of the building’s upper floors had collapsed and considerable steam had … Read entire article »

New Leak Found Near Unit 3 At Fukushima Daiichi
TEPCO is admitting to increased levels of radiation near unit 3. An increased amount of beta radiation and cesium was found today near the unit 3 intake canal in groundwater well #3. These levels increased since July 4th when beta was at “none detected” to 1400 bq/liter. http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/fukushima-np/f1/smp/2013/images/2tb-east_13071201-e.pdf In addition to the well water increase, they found an elevated reading in a seawater piping trench just outside the unit 3 turbine building. The contamination levels inside the turbine buildings were all at about the same contamination level. TEPCO doesn’t mention exactly where in the turbine buildings they took those readings. What this testing showed is that something is creating contaminated water that is showing up at the seafront outside the turbine buildings and near unit 3.

Unit 3 Fukushima Daiichi Debris Removal Near Completion
Debris removal has been ongoing during the last month as TEPCO attempted to distract the public with the leaking ponds issue. Photos below from the TEPCO webcam show the rapid progress in just the last few weeks. The image in early June shows the back wall structure is still in place and much of the roof trussing debris was still on top of the refueling floor. About 50% of the trussing and debris is gone compared to earlier in the month. Half of the back wall frame is removed. TEPCO has reported little or nothing since they did beam removal work on the spent fuel pool months ago. As unit 4 was cleared off TEPCO provided multiple updates and images of the complicated work to removal the refueling floor and reactor … Read entire article »

Unit 3 Location Of Crane & Mast In Pool
In an attempt to better understand how the crane is situated in the spent fuel pool of unit 3 we developed some illustrations. Using various TEPCO reports, diagrams and photos we were able to estimate the location of both items within the spent fuel pool. The first flat map shows the crane location in green and the mast in pink per TEPCO’s original version of the map. The red blocks are known location of fuel based on a 2010 photo of the spent fuel pool. Additional fuel may have been offloaded into the pool since the photo was taken.

Analysis: Unit 3 Mast In Pool Inspection
TEPCO released a new video and handout of the unit 3 mast that fell deeper into the spent fuel pool. We have processed the video into about 200 still images that can be found here. The full video of the inspection can be found on our Youtube channel. TEPCO estimates one end of the mast landed along the east wall with the end resting on a control rod drive rack. The other end appears to be resting tangled in concrete and rebar debris on top of the fuel racks. Portions of the middle of the mast can be seen spanning above the fuel racks by a few inches. What appears to have been the structure that originally held the mast into the fuel crane can be seen partially down the mast. What is of … Read entire article »

Unit 3 Daiichi Pool Accident Analysis
TEPCO announced this week that the 1.5 ton mast for the refueling crane fell into the pool and sank as they tried to remove debris from the pool. TEPCO has done some testing of radiation levels near the pool and does not think there was fuel damage based on not finding drastically elevated levels. The mast falling could create a couple of potential damage situations. It could fall and damage the fuel assemblies held in the pool. It could also damage or puncture the spent fuel pool metal liner causing a leak in the pool. The condition of the liner or the concrete pool has not been confirmed by TEPCO to date. The mast that fell looks like this under normal conditions. It has minimal connections to the refueling crane. TEPCO released these … Read entire article »

Atomic Rats, Fishing For Beams & Cleaning Up The Common Pool At Daiichi
Workers at the plant are reporting seeing rats at Daiichi. Worker Happy11311 mentioned seeing them and was worried they would damage cables at the plant. They could cause obvious safety problems if they chewed on electrical or water lines. Small animals also pose the risk of getting into equipment and causing issues by tripping electrical systems. Then there is the problem of rats being in contact with high levels of radiation then making them highly contaminated. This can cause problems as they then spread the contamination up the food chain or take it with them if they leave the immediate area. TEPCO successfully pulled the steel beam that had fallen in the spent fuel pool of #3 back in October. They did a practice run and installed some safety bumpers … Read entire article »

Robot Inspection Of Unit 3 Finds Increasing Radiation Levels, New Robot Fails.
TEPCO reports the results of a robot inspection in unit 3 at Fukushima Daiichi. The initial work was to look at the improvised duct hose to remove gas from the reactor containment. The new robot FRIGO-MA failed to work due to a bug. TEPCO sent in Packbot and Quince instead. TEPCO did not state the nature of the inspection other than to look at the gas duct hose. It appears the concern was due to increasing radiation levels in the area. TEPCO was likely inspecting the duct as the source of the possible increase. No leaks or damage were found on the duct. What they found was that the containment door and track were the source of the increased radiation levels. Workers had a .52 mSv exposure dose for their work. Packbot … Read entire article »

TEPCO Inspects Gas Control & Introduces A New Robot
TEPCO announced they are sending in robots to inspect an improvised gas control duct in unit 3. They do not say why they are inspecting the “duct” that looks more like a reinforced hose. This duct was quite obviously installed by humans at some earlier date yet TEPCO never reported this specifically. Now they will send in robots because the radiation levels are too high. While this is good as far as protecting workers and using robots for mundane tasks, the exposures of the workers that installed the duct were likely quite high. The worker seen in the image is wearing a yellow protective suit seen when workers have to go into extremely high radiation areas. TEPCO also introduced a new robot.

Oops! Worker Bumps Reactor Water Valve At Fukushima Daiichi Changing Water Rate
A worker installing pipe insulation bumped a valve controlling the feedwater cooling for unit 3 at Fukushima Daiichi. This increased the water injection rate to 7 tons per hour from 5.8 tons per hour. Once it was discovered workers adjusted the valve back down. Such events highlight the fragile nature of the plant where critical systems have no protection or safety systems.

Indecision, Handouts And Heating Up Fuel Pools
The NRA panel of experts was supposed to decide today if the Oi nuclear plant would be allowed to continue operating or not. Instead of a decision they have decided upon more tests. TEPCO says it needs $125 billion USD to continue making compensation payments and to cover the cost of decontaminating areas covered in fallout from the leaking nuclear plant. This amount is equal to 2% of Japan’s GDP. A recent video stated these costs were only to cover possibly the next two years. Some experts said the constant need for huge sums of money to deal with the nuclear disaster would turn TEPCO into a “shell” that exists only as a vehicle to deal with the disaster.

TEPCO Sending Workers Into Units 2 & 3 Basements In A Few Hours
TEPCO intends to send workers into the sub basement of units 2 and 3 on March 14th (a few hours from now) to inspect the torus area. The work will consist of checking for radiation levels, temperature, humidity, water levels etc. and possibly opening the door into the torus room. TEPCO thinks workers will receive a dose of 10 mSv each for the trip. This work could be both risky and significant since there is some speculation that corium or at least very highly radioactive water may reside in the torus. Unit 3 currently shows as .2 sV/h torus radiation Unit 2 currently shows at 16 sV/h torus radiation at the “B” sensor. TEPCO has this flagged as failed. If this reading is accurate that is a very dangerous level of radiation. Sievert to … Read entire article »

A Series Of Unfortunate Events at Fukushima Daiichi
There have been a number of odd happenings recently at the plant. What they all mean right now is not totally clear.

A weird white ash was reported by some in Chiba, no word if this is related in any way. On January 6th the cesium levels detected leaking out of unit 3′s intake canal tripled in one day. We still have no explanation for the rush of police cars, fire engines and two buses of workers to Daiichi on January 6th (Japan time).

Unit 3 Cooling Was Turned Off The Day Before Explosion
The cooling system at unit 3 was turned off the day before the massive explosion. The plant director was not informed for an hour of the action. Suspension of cooling caused the reactor to be without water for 6.5 hours. The RCIC cooling system was running low on battery power. Without checking the reactor pressure, workers shut off the RCIC system and attempted to start a fire pump system to feed water into the reactor. This fire pump system is low pressure and can only operate at 7 atmospheres or less of pressure. Pressure at the time of the attempt was about 40 atmospheres. The fire pump system was unable to inject water due to the high pressure and the batteries required to operate the containment venting system were not working. … Read entire article »

1.6 Sievert Hot Spot Found In Unit 3
Recently a 1.3 Sievert hot spot was found near the containment hatch inside unit 3. This hot spot appeared to be water leaking out of the hatch via a set of tracks in the floor. Now the same area is showing as 1.6 Sieverts. The water is assumed to be leaking from the containment structure and the areas near the hatch are also very high. Unit 3 has had an ongoing problem of levels too high for workers to enter. They have tried a number of things including debris removal, robot vacuuming of the 1st floor but the levels still prevent workers from spending any meaningful amount of time in the building. This is seriously hampering clean up efforts. TEPCO and MOX advocates have previously claimed that the MOX fuel in … Read entire article »

Experts New Theories On Units 2 and 3
Researcher, Fumiya Tanabe thinks the suppression chamber of unit 2 was damaged during the initial earthquake. He cites the much larger total releases from unit 2 as evidence.

Fukushima Unit 3 steam-explosion theory
Fukushima Unit 3 steam-explosion theory by Ian Goddard The signature event of the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns was the large mushroom-cloud explosion of Unit 3 on March 14th. In contrast, the explosion of Unit 1 lacked any notable vertical projection. Yet Tokyo Electric Power Company assumes each was a hydrogen explosion in the upper-deck above the reactor. However, because dramatically different effects suggest different causes, let us consider an evidence-based model wherein the Unit-3 explosion was a steam explosion that vaporized tons of injected seawater into a mushroom cloud and that triggered secondary hydrogen explosions. Figure 1: Unit 1 lacked the vertical magnitude and mushroom cloud of Unit 3. So it seems something extra happened at Unit 3. The mushroom cloud is composed of tons of mass consistent with tons of vaporized water. The risk of a steam explosion during a meltdown in … Read entire article »
